OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it a circle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

of course..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1357980148460:dw|for it is an inscribed quadrilateral, DPB+DAB=ABP+ADP=180 Therefore DAB=180-70=110 also as an inscribed quadrilateral BOD=2BPD=140 DBC=90 so DO=BO=OC, soDOB=2DCB=2OBC

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so BCD=70

@Frank_Shank I am sorry that the question cannot use cyclic quad. theorem. Besides, I forgot to tell you that I have problem in part c only...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you got the BOC(180-140=40) perimeter=2cm*360/40=18 so r=9/pi and DAO=ADC=70 DOA=40 AO=DO=9/pi it's easy to get the length of AD now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

DOC is not a diameter...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you sure………………??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, the book draw something like this,|dw:1357981460150:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

anyway do you know AOD and BOC?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

similar triangles?
